Nag-viral sa social media ang pahayag ng nina Tito P, RJ Carbonell, at Lawrence Vivar tungkol sa panganay na anak ni Kris Aquino na si Josh na may special needs.

Sa isang pahayag ng The Pod Network, ang producer ng naturang podcast, ibinahagi ni King of Talk Boy Abunda sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong Miyerkules, October 14, nakatanggap na sila ng mga reklamo ukol sa naturang episode at sinabing siniseryoso nila ang mga reklamong ito.

BASAHIN: Boy Abunda, kinundena ang Machong Chismisan podcast dahil sa masasakit na salita patungkol sa anak ni Kris Aquino na si Josh

“We have received concerns from listeners about remarks made about a person with a disability in a recent episode of Machong Chismisan. We take these concerns seriously. Persons with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals deserve dignity and respect, and that includes how they are talked about on our shows,” sulat ng The Pod Network sa ngayon ay deleted post nito sa Facebook

Humingi na rin sila ng tawad sa lahat ng mga nasaktan.

“We are sorry for the hurt this has caused. Our creators speak in their own voice, and their views do not reflect those of the network. But as the platform that carries their shows, we should still be mindful of what we share with the public,” pagpapatuloy ng The Pod Network.

KILALANIN ANG CELEBRITIES NA NAGPAKITA NG UNCONDITIONAL LOVE SA KANILANG RELATIVES NA MAY SPECIAL NEEDS SA GALLERY NA ITO:

Sa hiwalay na pahayag, inanunsyo ni Makoy Pare, isa sa mga co-host ng show, na tinake down na nila ang naturang episode ng podcast at itinigil na rin ang pag-publish ng clips mula sa parehong episode.

Humingi na rin si Makoy ng tawad sa lahat ng na-offend sa mga jokes sa episode at sa PWD community.

“We would like to extend our apologies to everyone who was offended in our episode. We would also like to apologize to The PWD Community. We would also like to extend our apologies to those mentioned in the episode, and will reach out through private channels to determine how we can proceed and make amends in a respectful manner,” sabi ni Makoy.

Pagpapatuloy niya, magiging mas masigasig sila sa pag-review ng episodes at sa pag-call out ng mga komentong maaaring makasakit ng mga tao.

“Moving forward, we will be more diligent in reviewing episodes and calling out immediately, in real time, remarks that could possibly be hurtful to anyone or any group,” sabi ni Makoy.

Sa isa pang hiwalay na statement, inangkin naman ni Lawrence ang full accountability sa kaniyang mga ginawa sa naturang video na maaaring naka-offend sa mga taong nabanggit, at sa mga taong may disabilities.

Sa katunayan, kinontra pa nga niya ang kaniyang co-hosts dahil hindi na umano siya sang-ayon sa mga sinasabi nila.

“As seen in the said podcast recording video, I have called out my co-hosts on the spot, because I did not agree with the statements said. I wish to clarify that I did not intend to make malice in the statements, jokes, laughs, or any part of the conversation that makes fun of person with special needs,” sabi ni Lawrence.

Paglilinaw pa ng podcast host, “Though it may have rubbed off wrong on video, I again would like to reiterate that it is not my intention, and as a sensitive topic, it is not a laughing matter.”

Tinatanggap din umano ni Lawrence ang mga consequences ng kanilang ginawa, at sinabing pinagsisisihan niya ang anumang nagawa at reaksyon niya sa isang sensitibong paksa tulad noon.

“Again, I would like to state my position that I regret my actions, laughs, and participation in that particular topic, and did not wish any harm on the persons who were mentioned in the video. As a comedian, we draw the line and we should never punch down,” sabi ng komedyante.

Hiling din ni Lawrence na 'wag sana siya at ang pagkatao niya husgahan ng base lang sa isang video clip, at sinabing 'wag sanang idamay ang kaniyang pamilya.

“I take full accountability on my part. I apologize for any offenses or harm that it may have caused to offended parties. Moving forward, I promise to do better,” sabi ng komedyante.
